Miguel or others, I am building a spreadsheet that documents my annual fruitless attempt to guess the Patriots 53 man roster.
Question - I was wondering if anyone has details on the number of players per position the Patriots have had on their opening roster for the past 5 years. This helps me determine where key battles or "competition" will occur.
Initial pass for 2006 and comments
25 - Offense - WR - 5, OL - 9, QB - 3, RB - 5, TE - 3
25 - Defense - LB - 9, DL - 6, CB - 5, S - 5
3 - Special Teams = P -1, PK - 1, LS - 1
Comments versus 2005 team
- stronger overall offense and better special teams coverage
- pass coverage is weak, LB, S and CBs are adequate in coverage
- WR is thin
- Punt returner is a question mark
